Life was hard at the bottom, easy at the top.-----------------Are you calling me a liar or telling me to shut up?---------------They toiled in back breaking, dark filthy, dangerous pain for nearly every waking hour.-------------Sweetwater Sally ran her hands up and down the bark of one of the pine trees growing in the theatre.----------------Why The Rat Bastard Gazette is one of the finest newspapers west of the Mississippi. The editor drank straight from the bottle. Inkslinger Charlie carried his pistol high up on the inside of his right arm.----------Shotgun Susy said, Can't bury him here, Father.---------The winner of the first dog fight escaped from its cage back stage and tore the hoop jumping poodle into high pitched shreds.
